NOTE:
The GC864 family Wireless Modules (GC864-QUAD and GC864-PY) has two DVI ports
on the system interface.
Only one port can be selected and be active at the time. The choice of DVI port
depends on the needs of the application, but Telit suggests that applications only use
the DVI2 port as this minimizes the impact on the module functionality.

NOTE:
Reserved pins must not be connected.

4.1.1. GC864-QUAD/PY Antenna Connector
The GC864-QUAD/PY module is equipped with a 50 RF connector from Murata,
GSC type P/N MM9329-2700B.
The counterpart suitable is Murata MXTK92 Type or MXTK88 Type.
Moreover, the GC864-QUAD/PY has the antenna pads on the back side of the PCB.
This allows the manual soldering of the coaxial cable directly on the back side of the
PCB. However, the soldering is not an advisable solution for a reliable connection of
the antenna.

RTS should be connected to the GND (on the module side) if flow control is not used.

5. Hardware Commands
5.1. Turning ON the GC864-QUAD / PY
To turn the GC864-QUAD / PY on, the pad ON# must be tied low for at least 1 second
and then released. A pulse duration less than 1 second should also start the power
on procedure, but this is not guaranteed.
The maximum current that can be drained from the ON# pad is 0,1 mA.
A simple circuit to do it is:
TIP:
To check if the device has powered on, the hardware line PWRMON must be
monitored. After 900ms the line raised up the device could be considered powered
on.
PWRMON line rises up also when supplying power to the Charge pad.
NOTE:
Do not use any pull up resistor on the ON# line, it is internally pulled up. Using pull
up resistor may bring to latch up problems on the GC864-QUAD / PY power regulator
and improper power on/off of the module. The line ON# must be connected only in
open collector configuration.
In this document all the lines that are inverted, hence have active low signals are
labeled with a name that ends with a "#" or with a bar over the name.

For example:
1- Let us assume you need to drive the ON# pad with a totem pole output of a +3/5 V
microcontroller (uP_OUT1):
2- Let us assume you need to drive the ON# pad directly with an ON/OFF button:

5.2. Turning OFF the GC864-QUAD / PY
Turning off of the device can be done in three ways:
by software command (see GC864-QUAD / PY Software User Guide)
by tying low pin ON#
Either ways, the device issues a detach request to network informing that the device
will not be reachable any more.
To turn OFF the GC864 via pin ON#, this must be tied low for at least 1s and then
released.
The same circuitry and timing for the power on shall be used.
The device shuts down after the release of the ON# pin.
The following flow chart shows the proper turnoff procedure:
